Tilo Dedinski Billinghurst .36
Cleaning
The barrel can be easily separated from the action by pushing out one single conical pin - a couple of soft strikes with a plastic hammer will do the trick (the fitting is excellent and removal and replacement of the barrel will not affect the sights). Then remove the nipple (with the supplied wrench) and wash the barrel inside and out with soapy hot water - using nylon or soft cooper brushes to remove all the accumulated fouling and black powder residue.

The Kuchenreuter MLAIC shooting rules require the shooter to make 13 shots in 30 minutes (including the loading process) The concentration required for alternating between loading and shooting means that the time is not so generous as it might first appear.
For the final result, a shooters best 10 from the 13 shots are used. The target is the standard ISSF 25m pistol precision and is scored up to a maximum of 10 points per shot. Since different calibers can be used by the shooters competing side by side, the score does not follow the normal ISSF approach (inward scoring) and a greater than 50% impact inside the ring must be achieved and the shooter must provide the range crew with a sample of the lead bullets used.
Top grade shooters will turn in scores of 95 and over with impressive consistency using this pistol - something that only top quality target pistols such as this one can achieve.
Black powder is hydroscopic material, that is, it gathers moisture and, if left in lasting contact with metal it will cause serious corrosion. After a thorough washing, use several dry patches to remove all trace of water and then use a hair-dryer or similar to thoroughly dry it - you will know when it’s dry - when the barrel is too hot to touch. Finish the
session with a lightly oiled patch down the barrel and also coat the outside. Balistol is a recommended and proven cleaner among European muzzle loading fraternity.
Once familiar with the process the entire cleaning procedure should take no more than about 20 minutes.
